This medication is used to take care of the warning signs of a prostate gland condition called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as enlarged prostate). Flomax (Tamsulosin) is an alpha-blocker that works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder neck and prostate. Relaxing these muscles leads to relief of symptoms of BPH such as the feeling of needing to urinate frequently or urgently, weak stream, complexity in beginning the flow of urine, and the need to urinate at some stage in the middle of the night.
These pills should not be used to treat high blood pressure.
